By accepting H&M Standard Purchase Conditions, the Supplier commits to comply with
H&M Chemical Restrictions. It is the Suppliers responsibility to assure compliance with
H&M Chemical Restrictions and to inform all their downstream suppliers and
subcontractors about the content of H&M Chemical Restrictions.
By accepting H&M Standard Purchase Conditions, each Supplier acknowledges that
H&M reserves the right to:
Inspect and test any product, any part of production and/or packaging, by any
listed or appropriate method, at any time or at any stage of production.
Cancel the Order, or, if the products are already delivered, return the products
to the Supplier if the product, production and/or packaging do not correspond to
the H&M Chemical Restrictions.
Hold the Supplier responsible for any damage caused by the ordered product if
the product, production and/or packaging do not correspond to the H&M
Chemical Restrictions.
Receive the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all substances and preparations (dyes,
colorants, solvents, chemicals etc.) used in the production of a specific Order.
In the case of contradictory test results, H&M test result will prevail.

to its mass, i.e. weight.
Organoleptic
Refers to any sensory property of a product, including smell,

taste, colour and feel.

Part 1: Manufacturing Restricted Substances List

(MRSL)
The Manufacturing Restricted Substance List consists of three different categories of substances:
-
Substances which are especially harmful for the workers and/or the environment e.g.
Organic Solvents and APEO.
Substances restricted in products but still shown to be released in the textile supply
chain, e.g. Azo Dyes and Phthalates.
H&M policy decisions e.g. PFC and Sandblasting.
Clause 1: Substances are not allowed to be found in H&M production sites and used in H&M
production
Clause 2: Substances are not allowed to be used in H&M production.
If a group of substances is marked with an asterisk* in the table below each included substance
is specified in Appendix A.1.

4.1: Permitted Colorants in Cosmetic Products

All substances listed below are permitted as colorants in Cosmetic Products under the specific
restrictions and requirements laid down.
The numbers under the column Field of application mean:
1)
Colouring agents permitted in all cosmetics products.
2)
Colouring agents permitted in all cosmetics products, except those intended for use in the area of eye (eye lid, eye
lashes and area below the eye down to the cheek bone).
3)
Colouring agents permitted only in externally applied cosmetic products. They should not intend to come into
contact neither with the mucous membrane (includes the intimate/genital area and the oral cavity of the mouth)
nor with the lips.
4)
Colouring agents permitted only in externally applied cosmetic products, except those intended for use in the area
of eye. They should not intend to come into contact neither with the mucous membrane nor with the lips.

62
Permitted colorants are named by their CI no. or other commonly used denomination. The lakes and salts of the
permitted colorants, using substances not prohibited in Annex II or not regulated in Annex V of EU Cosmetic
Regulation, are also permitted except if otherwise specified under the headline Other requirements.
63
If there is no cross in the columns below the headline Field of application appropriate restrictions and conditions of
use will be found under the headline Other requirements.
64
Colorants whose number is preceded by the letter E in accordance with the EU Directive of 1962 concerning
foodstuffs and colouring matters must fulfil the purity requirements laid down in those Directives. They continue to be
subject to the general criteria set out in Annex III to the 1962 Directive concerning colouring matters where the letter
E has been deleted there from. See also EU Cosmetic Regulation Annex IV for more information about the
limitations and purity requirements in Europe for each colorant specified above.
65
The insoluble Barium, Strontium and Zirconium lakes, salts and pigments of these colorants shall also be permitted.
They must pass test for insolubility, which will be determined by the procedure laid down in Article 8 in the EU
Cosmetic Regulation.
66
This colorant has two different names as a certified colorant in USA. Therefore this colorant has two different criteria
regarding purity, other requirements, limitations and field of application.
